    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have always known Sen. Shiyonga to be serious about scooping, but not to this extent; all the way to the USA. Congratulations! Mr. Speaker, Sir, the aspect I want to bring out is that it is, indeed, a trend that many great Kenyans get recognised out there before they are recognised in Kenya. I am not sure whether Sen. Shiyonga has got such an award locally. The late Wangari Maathai was never feted in Kenya before she got a Nobel Peace Prize. Recently, a Kenyan; Tabichi, became the best teacher in the world. Even today, I hear that there is another Kenyan who has got an international award. However, we have never been able to get a proper framework locally, through which we can be celebrating and honouring Kenyans who have distinguished themselves in different fields. I am glad that, as the Senate, we have passed The County Hall of Fame Bill 2018. Through this Bill, we can make sure that people, even at the county level, are given their roses when they can still smell them and not after they have gone."
